DAHR Station
Dual Agent Units are manually operated hose reel stations, discharging dry chemical powder and water/foam, intending to
be used by trained fire fighting personnel. The Dual Agent hose reel is supplied with two individual hoses, where one hose is
intended for dry chemical and the other for water/foam. The hose reel is equipped with a dual agent nozzle that has individual
open/shut valves, and with a twist-action selection of jet or fog on the water/foam side, giving full control of the two agents.
Dual Agent Units are rapidly activated, and they are simple to use. The dry chemical powder gives a rapid knockdown of
large scale fires, while water/foam gives cooling of hot surfaces and sealing of liquid pool fires. The Dual Agent Units must be
installed in the vicinity of the area they are to protect.
The foam may be supplied to the unit and mixed into the firewater in the following
ways:
Through a balanced pressure proportioner, from local pressurized foam tank.
Through a balanced pressure proportioner, from the platform foam ring-main system
Though an in-line inductor, from a local or external atmospheric foam tank.
The system is supplied with a dry chemical vessel in requested material, and foam/waterways in materials suitable for use with
seawater/foam. The powder is supplied from a pressure vessel, which is pressurized by a N2 Cylinder.
